Harrogate Intakes 53A & 53B

 
I have arranged a 'draft' 50th anniversary for 53A & B Harrogate intakes. This is on Sat 7 Oct @ 8pm, at the Swallow St. George Hotel, Harrogate. I think I have accessed most of the known reprobates from those intakes, if not they can contact me on 01342 714984.
 
At the moment we have 18 attending plus 11 wives/partners.
 
We also have the exclusive use of the hotel Conservatory room from 3 pm on that day. If any ex boys from around the early 50's would like to join for a coffee, or something stronger they will be welcome.
 
Kindly publish.
 
Regards

Harrogate Reunion 2006 for 53A & 53B Intakes

 
On 7 October 2006 a reunion of Harrogate 53A & 53B intakes was held at the Swallow St. George Hotel Harrogate.
During the afternoon a very informal gathering was held in the Conservatory Room, where in addition to some of the 53's John Bickers, Dave Harries, Bob Payne and Andy Anderson attended.
 
In the evening there was a Buffet Dinner with 20 53's attending along with 10 WAG's. Out of this number 8 were ex Military Survey, a notable effort.
 
Sadly Wes Noble was sorely missed, however his wife Miriam attended to everyone's delight.
 
An enjoyable evening was had by all, with many old stories re told, and a fair amount of refreshment imbibed.
 
Alan Roberts volunteered to organise another reunion on the first Saturday in October, 2008.
